Tiramisu Cheesecake Bars

Have you ever had Tiramisu Cheesecake Bars? They are the most rich bars you will ever feast on. Absolutely amazing taste, and a tiny little bite will last you an entire day. I got the recipe from Betty Crocker, but, having made these a few times, I've modified what I do.... here is the Charles Jurries+Betty Crocker recipe for Tiramisu Cheesecake Bars:

GROCERY LIST:
- One tube sugar cookie dough
- 2 packages (8 oz. each) cream cheese
- 1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
- Instant coffee granules or crystals
- 1 package (2 cups, approx. worth) of chocolate chips
- 1 can of cream cheese frosting
- 2 eggs
- Vanilla

STEP ONE: Cookie Crust
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cut open sugar cookie dough tube, spread dough over a greased 9x13" pan. This will create a cookie crust for the rest of the desert.
3. Once dough is spread and pressed down all over the pan, stick in the oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until it's a nice light golden brown. Let cool for at least 15 minutes.
Trivia: The original recipe calls for making sugar cookie dough from a mix. I'm too lazy. I just get some pre-made. Why have another bowl to wash?

STEP TWO: The filling
1. Keep that oven on at 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, beat the 2 packages of softened cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
3. Add the sweetened condensed milk. Beat again until well blended.
4. Add 1 tablespoon coffee crystals. (Or 2. I usually do two.)
5. Add 2 eggs.
6. Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla.
7. Beat everything until well blended.
8. STIR IN (don't mix) one cup -- about half a bag -- of chocolate chips.
9. Pour over the cookie base.
10. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until it's set.

STEP THREE: Finishing it!
Then let it cool down for an hour or so, then stick it in the refrigerator for at least another hour. Once it's cool enough, take that can of frosting and spread it all over the top of it. Once the frosting is on, sprinkle the rest of the chocolate chips from that bag (assuming you haven't eaten them all!!!) for a nice chocolate topping.
Trivia: The recipe calls for making a cream cheese frosting from scratch.... I've never gotten that recipe to work right for me. Kudos if you can, but, again, why have another bowl to wash if you can just plop some good canned frosting on top?

STEP FOUR: Eat and enjoy! Please, take small pieces... this is an incredibly rich dessert. You may feel like you can eat half a pan, but, a hour or two later, you WILL regret it if you eat more than a couple pieces... it'll feel like a rock in your stomach, it's so rich! However, eating it in moderation, this is an incredibly AWESOME desert, and, I thank Betty Crocker for bringing it into my life. :)
